Greetings,
I encountered the nasty shortcoming of there being no "Map Channel Names to
Host Headers" option in the Standard Edition of CMS.  To work around this, I
found ISAPI_REWRITE to be a very handy tool.

Download it here:
http://www.isapirewrite.com

In your httpd.ini file, put the following commands in (based upon their
samples):

RewriteCond  Host:  (.*)
RewriteRule  ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://$1$2/ [I,R]

RewriteCond Host:  (?:subdomain\.)?domain\.extension
RewriteRule /workingChannel(.*) http\://subdomain.domain.extension$1 [I,R]
RewriteRule (.*) /workingChannel$1 [I,L]

This will essentially emulate the functionality of the enterprise edition
function.

I would be curious about ways to improve this method.

Sounds really cool.

 

Just thought I'd mention too the other main reasons to use MCMS 2002 Enterprise Edition are:-

- Clusterable (multiple MCMS front end servers backing onto 1 database)

- > 15 users in non subscriber roles
